Ahhh, ABBA. "Dancing Queen" is helping me wind down. I'v been in the midst of a spell of writer's block for a few days. Perhaps the seminal Swedish band's harmonies can reach my inner Ernest Hemingway. Never mind. Now it's Motley Crue's "Looks that Kill." Great workout tune, but doesn't inspire me to put the pen to the pad, so to speak. Oh well - c'est la vie.
I'm finally settling back into a routine after being gone 3 of the last 5 weeks. I'm being requested by my department to go to DC October 2-3 on a recruiting trip to Howard University. Seeing as how HU is an HBCU (Historically Black College or University), and I'm one of two black grad students in the department, they really want me to go. The other black guy has to work and can't take off. I think I'm all traveled out though. Not to mention that I'd be hustling to get back in time for Trumpets - and there's the matter of my 7th wedding anniversary to deal with as well.
This past Sabbath was weird. Not the sermons, or the brethren. It was entirely me. I enjoyed my Sabbath, but I almost felt like I was somewhere else, while my body was on remote control. I think it was because I was tired from all the bus riding and whatnot. Rebel told me I looked really tired when we were at Russell Stover's. I guess that was all it was, b/c when I woke up Sunday morning to go to Cracker Barrel I was back to my normal self.
Well I've got to walk home and get dinner, so I'll stop here. I may come back tonight and pick up where I left off. I know - I can dazzle my adoring public with pictures of cotton fields... and charter buses... and cotton breeders... yadda yadda yadda...

I'm glad you were able to get some rest are back to your normal self again. As part of your adoring public I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see the pictures of cotton fields, charter buses, etc.
Ashley --> No... I'm guessing they aren't country.
Rebecca --> I bet you say that to all the bloggers! ;-D
